Hi James, I'm sorry to say there isn't any integration with now-ubiquitous monitoring software in ManifoldCF. Proposals are welcome.
As for getting a record of configuration -- as you know, the REST API allows you access to all the database-resident structures in MCF, which includes connections etc. But there's also a configuration import/export capability. It is not documented as far as I am aware, but the java classes ImportConfiguration and ExportConfiguration in the package org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler do the work. If you are using the multiprocess setup, you can execute these via the executecommand script. These do not, however, record properties.xml or global-properties.xml or connectors.xml; that you'd have to do yourself.
